Francis is a young gay man, Marie is a young straight woman and the two of them are best friends -- until the day the gorgeous Nicolas walks into a Montreal coffee shop. The two friends, instantly and equally infatuated, compete for Nicolas' indeterminate affections, a conflict that climaxes when the trio visit the vacation home of Nicolas' mother. The frothy comedy unfolds through narrative, fantasy sequences and confessional monologues.

Notes
It's now some seven years after this film was first released· How I managed to miss it is a mystery· I loved it! It is a witty, well told story that brought many smiles and chuckles as the competition for Nicholas' affections ebbs and flows· Nicholas is beautiful, a classic Greek Adonis· It's clear he knows he's pretty· And he enjoys playing the two friends, all the time keeping his sexuality ambiguous· Or is he just a naive country boy?
